Q: Do you have any beauty / skin care tips or tricks to look fresh and rested for early morning photoshoots?
A: Nope. Just be prepared.
Q: What’s the funniest thing that happened to you on a photoshoot or fashion show?
A: I remember one fashon show, in which my jacket got caught, on my top. It wouldn’t come off. LOL
Q: Did you always wanted to be an model, or did you stumble upon it, get discovered etc.? Who or what inspired you to become a model?

A: I’d get a smaller bone-structure.
Q: Have you had any negative experiences with model agencies, talent scouts? What are top 3 warning signs to look out for?
A: Oh yea! 1) Any agency that charges you, to represent you.
2) Any agency that makes you use their photographer and charges you.
3) Any talent scout who does the top 2 and ALSO has little to no record of their professionalism.
Q: What do you think about the show America’s Next Top Model? Who is cast, past winners, show format, etc.?
A: I think the reality shows are fixed. They just cost less to produce.

A: I think they can be quite a let-down for a person, who’s not a professional beauty queen. Those things can be a LOT of work. Sometimes they are fixed as well.
Q: Would you work for a client that uses fur? What is the best way to balance personal beliefs and client needs?
A: No I would not. You need to discuss these things beforehand and respectfully keep your foot down.
Q: Do you do any type of charity work?
A: I do not work FOR a charity. I DO send donations, year round, to communities in need. I sign petitions and send out letters (animals, people, environment, politics).
Q: What tips and advice do you have for aspiring models just starting out, something you wish someone would’ve told you ?
A: That you don’t have to pay a real agency, for anything. Also, check the background of anyone who offers a job (EX: No information on them *RED FLAG*). Be sure you understand everything about the contracts, before signing.
Q: Would you share some of your future goals, your life motto, any words of wisdom that get you by in life and professional career?
A: I’m gonna stick with art modeling and see where it goes. I’ll be trying different fields too. I believe that you choose your own path.
